weekly newspapers for children

Do there exist weekly newspapers (in the U.S.) for elementary school
age children? ISTR that they existed when I was in school. I'd like to
subcribe to one for my son.

Wow.

Weekly Reader is *still* around. I remember it from the early '60s.

It's in color now, but on the same thin paper. Memories....

Gawd, I hated that thing.

My son's school uses Time for Kids (,http://www.timeforkids.com/TFK/)
but I think its only published during the school year.

Getting there...!

My most vivid memory of the Weekly Reader is in April 1964, when on the front
page was a huge picture of "our tornado" - one that had hit our town about two
weeks before that. (F5 on the old Fujita scale, killed seven..nothing to sniff
at) The (4th grade) teacher held up the Weekly reader, and we all cheered while
she rolled her eyes (kids, y'know ..) We recognized the picture immediately
from the front page of our local paper.

Then she passed it out as usual. The text described a "cloud with a tail",
which we thought was pretty hilarious.

We did look forward to the Weekly Reader as I recall (well, OK, at least *I*
did.)

I remember it from the early 40s when I was in grade school, but it
has been around since 1928. I don't think I hated it but it took me
too short a time to read it and then I didn't have anything else to
do.
